Welcome to The List,
So you say you hate Valentine’s Day and you have no one to celebrate with? You might want to plan a trip to Chicago between January 27th and February 26th. Because a company called Bucket Listers is opening up a Taylor Swift-themed BREAK UP BAR called Bad Blood. Admission is $22 a person, but it does include a “welcome-themed cocktail.” FYI, Bad Blood is NOT an official Taylor Swift event.

Channing Tatum is planning a remake of Patrick Swayze’s 1990 hit, “Ghost”. And “Vanity Fair”, gave him a lie detector test where he was asked if he thinks he’s a better stripper than his “Magic Mike” costar, Joe Manganiello and even Jennifer Lopez “100%. We’re different classes of strippers. When you look in the dictionary next to the perfect specimen of a man, probably Joe is one of the bodies that pops up. He’s kinda weirdly flawless . . .”But, as far as stripping goes. I would put myself above him, dance-wise. Sorry, Joe.” He also said he’d go harder than Jennifer Lopez.

Brett Young Has Advice For Married Couples That Want To Stay Married … “I noticed that like, you’re so exhausted at the end of the day you don’t really get in bed and download and reconnect – How are you feeling? How was your day? You’re so tired you just go to bed. So, we’ve been making it a point to ask questions about how each other is feeling, and just keeping the lines of communication open and not making the excuse that you’re tired cause children are crazy.” He says keeping those lines of communication open are important.

Kane Brown tells The New York Times newspaper that he has an unhealthy obsession with the show ‘Yellowstone’. “I would watch and rewatch that show. My wife got fed up with it and told me I need to go outside and do something. So I bought full cowboy gear and went to Lowe’s to buys some wood to build a tree house. She wasn’t thrilled with that decision.”

Welcome to The List,
Luke Combs tells Southern Living he is a simple Southern comfort food guy. Barbecue, mac and cheese, cornbread, and he is happy. No truffle foam. No tiny portions on giant plates. So next time he swings through KIX Country, forget the autograph. Hand that man a brisket and watch the magic happen.

Rumors say Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani have allegedly made relationship resolutions to avoid drifting apart. Sources claim they are being more intentional with work, church, health, and actual date nights. Less coasting, more communicating. A very deliberate reset, according to insiders. Nothing says romance like a scheduled calendar invite.

Riley Green admits he has never celebrated Valentine’s Day with a girlfriend. He calls himself a procrastinator and jokes that Christmas gifts get wrapped in newspaper. Romantic. Truly. He says a Valentine’s date would likely involve last-minute grocery store flowers. Sir, the bar is already low. Please step over it.

Post Malone hit the stage at a Bud Light Super Bowl show and found out beers were $14. He called it unacceptable and tried dropping the price to $7, then $5, even joked about $3 for Cowboys fans. Spoiler alert. The bartenders kept charging full price. The crowd still had fun. But we can all agree, fourteen dollars for a beer is emotional damage.
Catch The List, weekday afternoons at 4:20 with Jonathan Knight. Only on Iowa’s BEST Country KIX 101.1
